Excuse me butting in here, but I picked up the group's name from a Google
search, and it seemed to be an appropriate place to ask this...

I have a Sony ICF 2001 which I bought new in the mid-80's. I used it a lot
while camping in New Zealand and outback Australia, but now, here in a
static-laden city, it just sits in the cupboard unused. It still works
perfectly, so I thought I'd offer it on eBay.

But I wonder, it being quite old in computer years, whether this would
actually be a collector's item as well as a functioning radio. There can't
be a lot of them around after all...

Should I go the 'whole hog' and list it as 'available worldwide' or just
locally in Australia? I'd like the old girl to go to someone who appreciates
it.

Thanks,

Paul

Depends upon which 2001 it is. The 2001 D is known as a 2010 in much
of the rest of the world, and odds are if it is in good working order,
you can get more than you paid for it. The 2001D/2010 is actually
still being built as far as i can tell (but probably not much longer),
other variants of the 2001 are much less valuable.
